    What software would you use for establishing a complete remote connection to another windows PC? So you can see the screen and click and move the mouse around.

    I know it works great over a LAN, but does anyone know if it would work adequately over a 56k connection to the internet?

    Or would dialing a direct connection to the computer be better than using the net?

    Or if you want to light up your virus scanner use Back Orfice - it doesn't just have malicious uses. Lots of cool plugins.

    ach, I find Vnc unreliable and has delayed reactions. Sometimes it doesnt even show a pop up box ?

    Pcanywhere is the best, but its more Cpu intensive
